Therefore, a technique is known in which a type lamp is provided in the nurse call parent device, and a device that has been called by the type lamp that has been lit is specified (for example, Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, etc.).

  However, according to the techniques described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, since only one set of type lights exists, the type is distinguished when a call is made simultaneously from a nurse call slave unit or another device. There was a problem that I could not. Also, even if a connection terminal for connecting other equipment is provided near each bed, not all patients need other equipment, so whether each patient uses other equipment or not Need to be displayed. Therefore, in addition to the indicator lights (hereinafter referred to as normal indicator lights) provided in each channel selection section of the board-type nurse call master unit, other channel indicator lamps indicating the usage status of other devices are provided for each channel selection section. It is conceivable to provide it. As a result, the normal call lamp is used for calling from the nurse call slave unit, and the call from the nurse call slave unit or other device is received simultaneously by using the indicator lamp for other devices for calling from other devices. Even in this case, the type can be distinguished. Moreover, it can be displayed whether each patient is using the other apparatus by always lighting the indicator light for other apparatuses of the channel selection part of the patient who is using the other apparatus.
